Dear E-newsletter Subscriber, Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States among both men and women. This deadly disease impacts 1 in 20 individuals. Though these statistics are alarming, the good news is colon cancer is preventable. Join us Wednesday, March 25th at Noon CST for a live interactive webinar and learn how you can arm yourself against this disease. Gastroenterologist at Mayo Clinic, Dr. Paul Limburg, will discuss prevention, diagnosis and treatment for colon cancer. An estimated 132,700 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer in 2015. Fortunately, there is a 90% survival rate when caught early. However one in three adults age 50 and older has not been screened. Dr. Limburg's important message will help you understand the risk factors, tips to reduce your risk, colon cancer screening and weighing your options. Participate in a question and answer period following the presentation. This webcast will be recorded, so if you're unable to attend, view the recorded session at your convenience. March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness month. In collaboration with Fight Colorectal Cancer, we're kicking off the #StrongArmSelfie campaign to raise awareness for prevention and screening. Take a selfie that gives back! As a nationally-recognized leader in gastroenterology and cancer expertise, our mission is to share knowledge and educate our readers so you may enjoy a happy, healthier tomorrow. |
